One of my business partners attended an art auction. At the auction an original Arnold Newman ( 1954) photograph was up for bid, and when he saw it he thought of me.

It could be none other than the FB pic (from Vallauris, France) and what a great gift. Bravo!

A FaceBook pic? I hoping I'll go, "duh" when you say what it stands for.

Indeed... a wonderful 2'x3' original. Cool

Reviewing before I wrote this I read that he was originally a cartoonist and perhaps that's the problem.

Did you mean "illustrator"?

It's my understanding that his father was a cartoonist, and Haring had a great interest in cartoon. He emulated his early heroes' works before turning public. Though I'm not an expert I did check two different sites for that information.

Thanks for the info. I was not aware.

The Gregor Schneider exhibit Secret looks interesting at the Edinburgh Art Festival.

I've had two minor injuries from viewing art works. One was bashing my head on a beam, in the dark, in Schneider's Dead House Ur at MOCA about 9 years ago.


I never thought of viewing art a dangerous. Wink

Spent an afternoon in Montreal touring Beaux-Arts and their Chihuly exhibit. Whatever your opinion of Mr. Chihuly, this exhibit certainly showcases how far he has pushed the medium of glass.

Then we went to the Redpath Museum on the McGill grounds and were blown away. Not because of any fantastic or unusual works of art, but because it was like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the nineteenth century. Creaky wooden floors, dusty glass cases, fossils, mummies and shrunken heads evoked childhood memories of our first museum visits. Very fun.

Andy Warhol would have been 85 today.

I was having espresso with an art dealer recently that knew Andy well. We both were thinking Andy would be shocked ( and disappointed) at how much his art is selling for today compared to the time of his death, and in disbelief how influential his art has become.

I do love the movie I Shot Andy Warhol. There's no doubt that wacko shortened his life.

VinT, do not lose faith in getting your long awaited piece.

I finally had a breakthrough for my Puig piece. The gallery owner was talking to Agusti recently and told him I had been negotiating all year for one of his pieces. Agusti told the gallery owner that if this man wants my work in his home, get the picture in his home. Cool

I now own both the Puig and a Paladino, which is good for my soul.

You're not going to wear them on your feet are you? Razz

Congrats on this and neat to hear the artist himself help to get it done.


LOL

I really must remove the predictive function from my iPad. Mad

Now that said, it really does make for some LOL text.

Cool Bravo

Sent you a poor iPhone email of the work.

Just saw the picture. Instantly one of my favorite of the pieces I know you have.
Love it. I must see this in person some day!


K, you are one of the few ( did I just say that?) on this forum with a keen eye for art. Wink

I saw the the great Sir Norman Foster resigned from the expansion of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.

Good for Foster. The expansion will end up being nothing more than a billion dollar disaster with deep corruption.

Now, if the new Barnes Foundation building would simply burn to the ground, it would be a great week. I had to drive by the place this past week. Frown

Eek I'm assuming you want them to take out the art first.


No, art included.

Albert Barnes would burn the art himself if he could. The theft of his art is now in the hands of the very people he never wanted to have it.

Saw a few Hyunmee Lee works in Salt Lake CitY and in Park City today. I liked them much more in person than viewing on the web.


Viewing in person can often changes your opinion.

Lee is represented at one of my favorite galleries here in Santa Fe, and is a serious and highly collectible artist.

Gald you enjoyed, and a wise purchase if you pulled the trigger.

On a side note, the gallery director is in my wine group in SF, and will be attending our ceremony today.
